A Novel HLA-C Allele, HLA-C*12:419, Was Identified by Next-Generation Sequencing in a Chinese Individual.

HLA-C*12:419 has a single nucleotide substitution at position 445 G>T when compared to the C*12:02:02:25 allele.

[The Role of NK Cells in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Micro-Transplantation for Acute Myeloid leukemia].

Objective: To explore the role of NK cells in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell micro-transplantation(MST) in the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).

Methods: Data from 93 AML patients treated with MST at our center from 2013-2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The induction regimen was anthracycline and cytarabine combined with peripheral blood stem cells transplantation mobilization by granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GPBSC), followed by 2-4 courses of intensive treatment with medium to high doses of cytarabine combined with GPBSC after achieving complete remission (CR).

Conversion of THz refractive index variation to detectable voltage change realized by a graphene-based Brewster angle device.

The Brewster effect has been previously reported as an essential mechanism for terahertz (THz) wave sensing application. However, generally in a sensing application, a complex rotation apparatus is required for detecting the slight change in Brewster angle. Here, we propose a graphene-based Brewster angle device operating at a specific terahertz frequency capable of sensing the refractive index at a fixed incident angle.

Chemometrics applied quantitative analysis of iron oxide mixtures by terahertz spectroscopy.

A quantitative analysis method for corrosion products based on terahertz spectroscopy is proposed in this paper. Mixture samples consisting of three major corrosion products (magnetite, hematite, and goethite) were prepared in 51 different concentrations. The refractive index spectra measured by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy were projected to the 2D score diagram by performing principal component analysis.

Enhancing the efficiency of graphene-based THz modulator by optimizing the Brewster angle.

The gate-controllable electronical property of graphene provides a possibility of active tuning property for THz modulator. However, the common modulation technology which only depends on voltage cannot solve the problem of power consumption limitation in communication applications. Here, we demonstrated a Brewster angle-controlled graphene-based THz modulator, which could achieve a relatively high modulation depth with low voltage.

Gene Mutation Spectrum of Thalassemia Among Children in Yunnan Province.

Thalassemia is an autosomal genetic disorder, found throughout the world. It is still not treatable and create socio economic problems. In this study, we investigated the prevalence and spectrum features of thalassemia in Yunnan Province, the southwestern area of China.

[Terahertz Absorption Spectra Simulation of Glutamine Based on Quantum-Chemical Calculation].

With simulation of absorption spectra in THz region based on quantum-chemical calculation, the THz absorption features of target materials can be assigned with theoretical normal vibration modes. This is necessary for deeply understanding the origin of THz absorption spectra. The reliabilities of simulation results mainly depend on the initial structures and theoretical methods used throughout the calculation.
